Like the title says, A friend of mine has a 04 suzuki 600 for a really good price, But has been layed down any ideas on how to look for major damage such as the forks being bent, Bike still looks good just has scratches on both sides. Thanks

i would think you could use a tape measure and some 7th grade geometry formulas to find out, but im not possitive.

if your in the concord area, you can bring it over to us at brg racing and my boss said he would check to see if they are bent for free, give us a call at 925 680 2560 ask for l.c ( little Chris ) and we will get them checked out for you..

Go for the 07 CBR 600. The Lightest 600 production bike as of 2007. I have one and have had so much fun on it. I already put about 4k on it since October.
